[Elecraft] K-Pod Power from data port for k3s serial 10511

[hawley, charles j jr]

The resistor is in series from a 5 vdc source. The pod takes alternatively about 50 ma from 9 to 15 vdc. So I would think any resistor from 6.8 to maybe up to 10.

Subject: [Elecraft] K-Pod Power from data port for k3s serial 10511

Hello to all,

This saturday I decided to install in my k3s the second receiver KRX3A with two filters and the KDVR3 that I bought last month.
In the future, hope very near, I am interested to buy also a k-pod.
I read the k-pod manual and I seen that to power the k-pod directly from the data Port there is a modification to apply.
My k3s is serial number 10511 so is one of those that needs the mod.

I thought to do the mod this Saturday, to open the k3s only one time but I can't find a 6.8 ohm resistor in my rubbish.
Is it necessary absolutely a 6.8 ohm or is possible to use other value more diffuse? Maybe a value near to 6.8 ohm or other combination?
What exactly does this mod ?

Any help, please ?

Thanks a lot in advance , best regards, Graziano iw2noy
